The man was also quite naked, with pants and underwear around his ankles, and he was fully visible from the porch.

Investigators Think They've Solved the Mystery of the Baltimore Bridge Crash
www.scientificamerican.com
... A tiny, misplaced label on the ship that hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore in 2024 may have caused the catastrophic crash that killed six people, U.S. officials revealed on Tuesday. ...
Investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have reported that a small label wrapped around a critical wire that was plugged into one of the many terminal boxes on the cargo ship had, over the course of years, caused the wire to come loose, tripping a breaker and causing the initial power outage on the ship.
"This tragedy should have never occurred," said Jennifer Homendy, chair of the NTSB, said at a board meeting on Tuesday, according to the New York Times.
The report also found that the Dali's crew had responded appropriately to the emergency. Because of the ship's size and uncontrollable drifting, however, the crew's actions to try to prevent the crash were ultimately futile. ...

[Your Love Is Like] Nuclear Waste (1977)

...
I'd rather crawl through poison ivy
or grab high tensions wires
cut my legs off at the knees
or set myself on fire
Than have to feel your charms
closing in around me
or feel your slimy kisses covering my body
Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste
I'd rather stick my tongue into a vat
drink ex-lax all day long
or have to chew on razor blades
or give head to king kong
Than have to be between the sheets with you for any time
or have to feel your scaly flesh moving onto mine
Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste
Bridge
Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is lala like
Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste

So, Mayor-elect Mamdani now has the support of the NYC PD Commissioner.
Mamdani says New York City's current police commissioner will stay on the job
www.pbs.org
... Mamdani, 34, has vowed to remake the department as mayor by shifting some responsibilities from the police to new mental health care teams. Tisch is the heiress to a multibillion-dollar family fortune and is considered a steady, establishment moderate with nearly two decades in public service.
She has been a fierce critic of the state's bail reform laws, which Mamdani supports, and has called on the city to hire more officers. Mamdani has walked back his previous comments about defunding the police, but he said he will keep the department's headcount even.
In an email to officers Wednesday, Tisch acknowledged the different views she has with Mamdani but said a series of conversations with him had made her "confident" that she can lead the department under his mayoralty. ...
@#9 ... The Cloudflare thing just recently ...
Cloudflare broke itself -- and a big chunk of the Internet " with a bad database query
www.theregister.com
... Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince has admitted that the cause of its massive Tuesday outage was a change to database permissions, and that the company initially thought the symptoms of that adjustment indicated it was the target of a "hyper-scale DDoS attack," before figuring out the real problem.
Prince has penned a late Tuesday post that explains the incident was "triggered by a change to one of our database systems' permissions which caused the database to output multiple entries into a feature file' used by our Bot Management system."
The file describes malicious bot activity and Cloudflare distributes it so the software that runs its routing infrastructure is aware of emerging threats.
Changing database permissions caused the size of the feature file to double and grow beyond the file size limit Cloudflare imposes on its software. When that code saw the illegally large feature file, it failed. ...
